robotino_encoderinput

This function block reads values from Robotino's encoder input.
The encoder input interprets signals from a digital motor encoder (A,B-channel gray-code).
Rising and falling edges are considered. This leads to a quad effective resolution.

 

Example: The motor encoder of Robotino' s drive motors has a resolution of 500 ticks.
Effectively 2000 ticks are counted.
